So I just picked up an old turkey fryer from a guy on craigslist. He said he used it once, so I made sure to scrub it really good (just used regular dish soap). I'm planning on brewing tomorrow so today I filled it with regular water and boiled it for an hour to build up the oxidation layer...

So I made a spur of the moment decision to buy a rhizome at my LHBS this past weekend. I've been thinking about growing for a while now, but I hadn't researched it at all. After seeing some of the rhizomes on here (especially the ones beerloaf currently has for sale), mine looks kinda...

I'm trying to venture outside of my extract brewing world and do a partial mash, and I'd like some help covering a recipe. I'm going to brew the Rapture Russian Imperial Stout recipe on here (https://www.homebrewtalk.com/f68/rapture-russian-imperial-stout-255890/). I'm planning on using 3 cans...

I've been dying to tell since we found out 3 weeks ago, but wanted to wait until we went to the doctor to find out if everything was okay. She's around 8 weeks now, and everything looks great! It's all pretty surreal still -- it hit me pretty hard right away, and I immediately started...

Will I want to brew this once I try it?

So I'm following the ebay aquarium temp controller build and I ran into a problem. The controller is rated for 10 amps, but my freezer says it pulls a max of 12 amps. Is there any way to make this temp controller work with my freezer? I just got the controller in today; it's the one...

Picked up Boatswain's H. L. V. (Heavy Lift Vessel) at Trader Joe's the other day and tried it last night. It's not the best beer I've had, but it was different in a good way. Does anybody know what style it falls into? The bottle just says that it's dark brown, and that their beers are heavily...

Just got an early Christmas present from the wife! http://www.hhgregg.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/mProduct3_10154_10051_-1_10155_search_3_10_haier_10_ I haven't picked it up yet but just playing around with the tape measuring I think I'll be able to fit two fermenters and maybe 3 in there...

EDIT: sorry, duplicate... how do you remove unwanted posts??

I'm currently fermenting Yooper's DFH 60 Minute clone with Ringwood and I'm getting a crazy attenuation. Does this sound correct or could I be doing something wrong? Brewed on 8/18 -- OG was 1.061. Pitched from a starter at around 70 degrees and fermented in a water bath that held the temp...

Anybody care to give an opinion on how this might turn out? Just a little background -- I love IPAs, and earlier this year I made a Ruination clone that was amazing. However, I'm looking for something not quite as big to take to the beach. I stumbled upon Yooper's DFH 60 Minute Clone, and...

I'm going to try making bread today. Anybody have any good (preferably whole wheat) recipes?

Does anybody know if the Danstar Munich Brewer's Yeast is the same as their Munich Wheat Yeast?

Got one of these for Christmas and man, I love this thing! Anybody else have one? I like bold coffee -- a nice dark roast with a good bit of caffeine. So far, Newman's Extra Bold has been my favorite. Two cups of that stuff and I'm buzzing nicely. Any other recommendations on good...

I'm planning on making some beer for a party we're going to in about 7 weeks and to make it easier to transport, I'd like to keg it. The problem is, I don't know where to begin when it comes to kegging, and I don't have much money. It looks like I can get a 5 gallon corny for around $40...

So I got a free kit today but it's been sitting in a garage for a few years and is covered with bugs and dust. I was thinking about soaking it in some hot soapy water to clean it, but I didn't know if I should also soak it in a diluted bleach solution or not. Also, inside the kit was a 6 lb...

Hey everybody, I'm currently boiling a clone recipe that says to top off to 5.5 gallons. Just wanted to run it by someone with more experience to make sure that seems appropriate (all the kits I've made before have been 5 gallons). Here's the recipe I'm doing: 6.6 lbs Munton's Light LME...

Hey everybody, I've been on the site and brewing for a couple of years but I'm really getting serious with it now. I've done about 5 batches, and they've been getting better and better, but I want to focus on what I'm doing and really improve. Just wanted to introduce myself and say that I...

Hey everybody, I'm still pretty new to homebrewing but I really want to step it up this year. So far, I've made 5 Brewer's Best kits (over the last couple of years). They have all turned out okay, and they're getting better as I'm learning more, but there's still something about the flavor...
